Total mesiodistal width of the maxillary anterior teeth correlated with the distance between pterygomaxillary notches; however, measurement of the interpterygomaxillary notch could not be used for tooth selection reliably due to the low standardized coefficient. Within the limitations of this study, the interpterygomaxillary notch distance is not useful for the selection of six maxillary anterior teeth in edentulous patients.
ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to determine the vertical distance between maxillary central incisors and incisive papilla.MethodsThe vertical distance between incisal edges of maxillary central incisors and the centre of the incisive papilla was measured by a digital caliper on the stone casts that were obtained from dentate subjects.ResultsThe mean vertical distance between maxillary central incisors and incisive papilla on the stone casts was 6.70±0.81 mm. The vertical distance range was 5.51 mm to 8.89 mm.ConclusionsThe clinical relevance of this study lies in application to complete denture construction. The dentist and laboratory technician can be use the results of this study as a guideline in fabrication of maxillary occlusal rims and in determination of the position of the occlusal plane with the reference of other anatomical landmarks together. However, the wax rim should be modified intraorally to incorporate individual characteristics and the anterior tooth should be arranged on modified wax rim.
This clinical case shows fabrication method and treatment efficacy of a modified MAD, which is aiming to displace bulky masseter muscles laterally, to provide more space for tongue on totally edentulous patient with severe OSA.
<p>Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder among middle-aged adults. It is characterized by repetitive collaps of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Oral appliances which used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea are a simple and influentual alternative for protection of upper airways from obstructions during sleep. Recently, there has been increasing interest about oral appliance usage for obstructive sleep apnea patients because of the limitations of another therapies such as positive airways pressure therapy and surgical methods. This review will be chronicled the usage of oral appliances in obstructive sleep apnea patients. Furthermore, factors which affect treatment success will be tried to discuss.</p> <p><strong>Key words: </strong>Obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliances.</p><p> </p><p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com.tr/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ozetkitap.com%2F&ei=8jOuTIzhB9fQ4wb_0OiHBg&usg=AFQjCNGuJMT9pBO6jP7uiv_4dsYurtJfDg">Ö</a>ZET</strong></p> <p>Obstrüktif uyku apnesi orta yaş üstü yetişkinlerde yaygın görülen bir uyku bozukluğudur. Uyku sırasında, üst hava yollarının tekrarlayan kollapsları sonucu oluşan apnelerle karakterizedir. Obstrüktif uyku apnesinde önemli bir tedavi seçeneği olan ağıziçi apareyler, uyku boyunca, üst hava yollarında oluşabilecek tıkanmaları önlemek amacıyla kullanılan basit ama etkili gereçlerdir. Son yıllarda, pozitif hava basıncı tedavisi ve cerrahi metodlar gibi diğer tedavi yöntemlerindeki kısıtlamalardan dolayı obstrüktif uyku apnesinde oral aparey kullanımına artan bir ilgi vardır. Bu derlemede, obstrüktif uyku apnesinde kullanılan oral apareyler hakkında bilgi verilecektir. Ayrıca, tedavi başarısını etkileyen faktörler tartışılmaya çalışılacaktır.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
